  1. League Two play-off places to be decidedpublished at 14:57 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    League Two play-off places

    Whichever of promotion-chasers Cambridge, Bolton and Morecambe misses out on the top three will be in the play-offs.

    They will be joined by three of Newport, Tranmere, Forest Green, Exeter and Salford.

    Salford, despite having picked up 16 points from their past eight games going into the final day, are the rank outsiders, needing both Forest Green and Exeter to drop points to finish seventh.

  2. Three into two for automatic promotionpublished at 14:55 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Cambridge, Bolton & Morecambe in contention

    League Two promotion race

    Losses for both Cambridge and Bolton last weekend meant they both squandered the chance to return to the third tier.

    That's left fourth-placed Morecambe still in the mix to win a spot in League One for the first time in their history.

    Second-placed Cambridge will go up if they pick up at least a point against already-relegated Grimsby, given their superior goal difference in comparison to Morecambe.

    Bolton travel to Crawley knowing a win will take them up, while a draw will be good enough if Morecambe fail to beat Bradford.

    Morecambe can seal promotion with a win if Wanderers fail to collect three points, while a draw against the Bantams will be enough if Bolton are beaten in Sussex.

    I'm not really sure how to sum up any of that to be honest.

    Derby's players are celebrating out on the pitch on after one of the most topsy-turvy games I've ever seen.

    For the shattered Wednesday players a season in League One awaits.

    FT: Derby 3-3 Sheff Wed

    Three second-half goals see the Rams end a run of six straight defeats.

    Martyn Waghorn's double and Patrick Roberts' goal are enough to keep them in the Championship and avoid dropping into League One for the first time since 1985-86.

    But Derby stayed up by the skin of their teeth.

    A final-day Rotherham win would have seen Wayne Rooney's men relegated.

    Keeper Kelle Roos can still afford to get booked for timewasting if he wants.
